Drachm - Qatari b. al-Fuja'a Arab-Sasanian

Qatari b. al-Fuja'a was the Kharijite leader who controlled much of the Persian heartland during the Second Muslim Civil War, and coins struck in his name represent one of the few instances where a rebel faction produced a sustained silver coinage in direct competition with Umayyad authority. His decade-long control of Fars and Kirman gave him access to functioning Sasanian-derived mint infrastructure, which his administration used without fundamental alteration — the weight standard and fabric closely follow the late Sasanian model.

He died in battle in 698, and the coinage ceased with him.
